OR. You could have him call y'all up (when your wife is there of course), let her answer it. He can ask if you can hold on to 'his' stash a little longer. Problem solved.

Tell her you were holding them for a friend because his wife said that he had to many kits and you were just about to give them back. But to be safe the next place you disperse that pile to needs to be in smaller stacks.

I dunno.... some of the Pix from Phoenix may come back to haunt a few of us in the future!

Booked my room yesterday so I'll be there!!!

Have you tried to cut tiny slits onto the decal film and trying to reapply the decal solutions again so it can get under the decal better?

looking good!

Looks great! Love the unique scheme, well done!

2020 is a throw away year as far as I am concerned. Just keep your head down in the trenches and push through as best as possible and build models since there ain't much else to do. Modelers are already prepared to self quarantine and shut out the general public and work at a bench building something.

That would interesting but a 1/32 lanc from meng would be $700 even if it was the original WnW mold

Well as of now I am still planning to go.. Its gonna be an interesting Nats though.

I was a moderator on a drag racing forum about 10 years ago and I can vouch for spambots. They sucked. That and keep up on diapers changes killed the fun for me on that forum for quite awhile. Its amazing how many adult men do need diaper changes and frequently. FWIW It was that forum where I honed my sarcasm skills.

The closest thing I've used to latex paint on a model is the Mig Ammo stuff...

Cool pix! Well at least the kittyhawk kit would be easier to correct than the other mirage-2000 1/32 kit out there.

Well which ever one the chose to do, it will be the most accurate kit of a do-17, do-217 or he-177 in 1/32 out on the market.

Sadly I wasn't in the military, I wanted to be a USAF pilot so bad but I was waaay too tall and too blind (and a screwed up back didn't help). I wasn't interested in being anything else. My dad and grand dads etc. were all in the military so I was kinda bummed I didn't continue the tradition.

The only bad thing about this build Ernie is you'll never be able to enter the ship in any contest.. They'll accuse you of 'rigging' it.... ah hem...

lol i remember that pic too only because i wasn't drinking with y'all.

I agree 1000%!

I like your idea for a WnW tribute,, Here is 90% of my WnW stash and the builds that are in my display case. The rest are on display at our local hobby shop.

Holy ship!! I expect a speedy build of this one....

Bingo! The post of the day right here!! ...I remember when they teamed up with Sprue-Mart a few years ago, I thought that they just became wholesalers as well and handed away a lot of their profit. I though the direct only was probably the best way to control the name and keep WnW self-sufficient and it worked it seems. I gotta admit when they went to world wide distributor ships it kinda killed the 'exoticness' of WnW but I still supported them. Yeah I know its kinda dumb but hey that's my opinion. Maybe they should go back to in house distribution and regain some financial control if they continue to operate? I think the prices are more than fair for what you get in the kits all one has to do is remember what the first of the OOP kits went for on flea-bay a few years ago. I know a lot of people want everything as cheap as dirt but sometimes one has to pony up a few more bucks to keep things going. Modelling is probably the cheapest dollar per hour recreational activity around. $100 +/- for dozens of hour of entertainment? Show me something that is a better bang for the buck.

Having built all those on the list over the years I also say F-16 followed closely by the P-51 then a corsair....

Yep, I predict A LOT of companies pulling out of China over this whole mess...

oops duplicate post

Don't tempt me! I have 3 weeks to kill.
